Modbus RTU connectivity for Schneider Electric Modicon devices with scalable integration
This driver is only available as part of the following TOP Server driver suites:
High scalability with up to 2048 communication channels.
Supports up to 247 devices per channel.
Extensive serial support with COM ports from 1 to 999.
Full Modbus address range up to 65535.
The Modbus RTU Serial driver works in conjunction with TOP Server to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and devices using the Modbus RTU Serial protocol over RS-232/422/485 connections.
This driver supports Modicon PLCs and the thousands of other devices in the industry that support the Modbus RTU Serial protocol, including JBUS. Data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling. Modbus Plus is also supported via the USB Adapter TSXUSBMBP Revision 1, which appears as a COM port to the operating system and this driver. For other Modbus Plus interfaces we have a dedicated Modbus Plus driver in the suite.
The Modbus Serial driver now features direct integration with Modicon Concept and ProWORX programming packages, allowing users to directly import the tags from the PLC into TOP Server.

Verified PurchaseWe've been using this driver for over 6 months in our manufacturing operations and it has been rock solid. The Modbus TCP connectivity is stable, data accuracy is excellent, and the support team has been very responsive when we had questions during setup. Highly recommended for industrial applications.

Verified PurchaseOverall very satisfied with the driver. Had some initial configuration questions but support walked me through it. Once configured, it's been running smoothly for 3 months without issues. Would give 5 stars if the initial setup was more intuitive.
The full TOP Server product runs in a 2-hour demo mode until licensed. After 2 hours, simply restart the TOP Server service to reset the demo timer. Start your free trial today or speak with a connectivity expert.
